International meetings
PARS: PARS, or Pan-American Regional Symposium, is a meeting within the American region of countries. This includes all North, Central, and South American countries, although all countries need to formally become members before being recognized as voting/active members.
These meetings were started in 2002 as an effort to help communication within the Americas, with the US being the first host site, then Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, and now Taiwan.
This summer from August 6-16, 2007 the 53rd World Congress will be held in Taiwan.
